With all the Ubuntu bashing. It's the only Linux image I have used for my server. Also used Kali and a bunch of others on an old laptop.
Is Ubuntu server bad or does it just hold your hand too much. I have everything running in docker and manage that from a web gui.
It's not that it's bad on a server, it's just that something like Debian with a couple tools on top gets you to the same place with less resources.
For a home server, that reduction in overhead can mean squeezing out a few more services on a single box.
Anyone who bashes distros hasn't really understood Linux. The fact that you can choose gives us the ability to choose the right tool for the job. Ubuntu has pushed a few weird things into the Linux world, but the distro itself is still legit.
Last time I used Ubuntu Server I was annoyed by those ads for some weird canonical subscriptions. Now I use Fedora ofc.
What's wrong with Ubuntu in general?
nothing really, mint is preferable if you need to use a ubuntu based dist
NixOS is just a hardware store
Ubuntu and Kali are both just flavors of Debian though. Need RHEL logo on a corporate middle manager desk chair.
Hint: :q!
